This obviously dovetails well with our Plasma Netbook efforts and the machine was sent via FedEx to me here in Switzerland so I could bring it along for us to play with and get the latest Plasma goodness running on it.
I'm not very familiar with this stuff, but doesn't Freescale's processor rule out OMAP?

omap is a arm based processor series from texas instruments.

freescale also make arm based processors, but i think the similarity ends there

It's a 32 bit CPU architecture, so theoretically it can address 4 GB of RAM.

No, OMAP3 chips can use a wide variety of RAM sizes, but because of price, availability and power consumption (I'm not sure if there are 512MB PoPs available in any real quantity yet) 256MB is the sweet spot for the moment.

if not Nokia and not Apple, may be it's some kind of Samsung netbook? Just who else could think of such things?

true, but TI only produce Omap3 products prepackaged with 256MB so i have heard.

The Beagle originally shipped with 128MB of RAM, so there's one example. The PoP is ordered separately from the SoC anyway.
